This (the forum reorganization) is still on the list of things for me to do and it will be done sooner rather than later. I've just had many things come up in the past few weeks that limits my time on the forums and I just haven't had the time to start this process.

Looking back through the thread it doesn't seem like there are any major concerns going forward. Obviously not everyone agrees with moving to component based forums rather than the vendor based forums we have now, but I haven't heard any arguments to make me change my mind.

Also, none of the proposed forum descriptions have really grabbed me. I liked the "What you see is what you get" but I think it needs a bit more.

Anyways, this is still happening but I haven't had the time to start it yet.

What makes most PC noise? That's right, cooling (which for better or worse is lumped in with overclocking).

CD drives and hard drives make a good bit of noise too.

Sure, but that's primarily when actively operating (and if you want a quieter CD or HD, you'd clearly discuss that in the storage forum, not the case forum). Cooling devices are more "general purpose" noise that's more constant (and thus annoying).

I guess it ended up being later rather than sooner. After my last post I had two separate work trips (three weeks total) and a two week vacation. This looks to be a slow work week so I'm planning to get started in the next few days.

If anyone has anymore suggestions or comments, now would be a good time.

By "flood interval" you're talking about the timeout required before another query can be run? That drives me crazy all the time. I check "Replies to my posts," find none, try to get "Posts since your last visit" and get blocked. (I'm not going to mention the times when I click on the wrong one of those and then back up and try to click on the other ) I run into similar problems if I run a query and get results I wasn't expecting (usually because I forgot to check the "Search for all terms" options) I go back, adjust the query, try to run it again, and get blocked.

Yeah. "Flood interval" is just what it's called in the PhpBB admin page.

I guess I just felt it was the most appropriate place to complain. I take it you have no plans on changing it? Was it a request passed on by Damage that made you change it in the first place? If so, then I understand about the bandwidth. However if it is more a whim thing, I would seriously ask you to reconsider.

One thing that would help is if phpBB cached the egosearch, much like how vBulletin caches the subscribed threads list... that would reduce queries a LOT. But, that's more of a phpBB feature request than a TR request, and I don't know if phpBB 3 has it or not anyway.

I know this isn't the right place to put this, but I thought I'd do so anywhere.

When I logged back into TR, there are 620 replies on the 'newposts' page. 13 pages worth. However, pages 12 and 13 both return blanks, so I'm starting with page 11 and working my way forward. I'm not really too worried about it, but thought I'd let someone know.
